Description :The vixie-cron package contains the Vixie version of cron. Cron is a standard UNIX daemon that runs specified programs at scheduled times. Vixie cron adds better security and more powerful configuration options to the standard version of cron.

- Users not allowed to use 'crontab mycrontab', while- 'crontab lt; mycrontab' allowed; this is because misc.c's- swap_uids_back() was not using save_euid / save_egid .- Thanks to Mads Martin Joergensen lt;mmj@suse.degt; for pointing this out.

* Wed Sep 29 2004 Jason Vas Dias lt;jvdias@redhat.comgt; - 4.1-16

- Just found out in testing that if neither /etc/cron.{deny,allow}- exist, root is unable to use crontab - I'm sure root could before,- but is in any case meant to be able to. Allowing root to use crontab.

* Wed Sep 29 2004 Jason Vas Dias lt;jvdias@redhat.comgt; - 4.1-14

- Fix for bug 130102 got dropped somehow from latest CVS.- This is now restored - in %post, if neither /etc/cron.{deny,allow}- exist, touch /etc/cron.deny, to allow all users to use crontab,- as was previous default vixie-cron behaviour.
